Celebration of St. Patrick’s Day Sparks Discussion of How Members Invest Their Gold at Afternoon Pop-Up
It’s no surprise blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and non-fungible tokens (NFTS) are consistently hot topics here at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL). From discussing recent economic impacts to meeting entrepreneurs in the biz, several of our events are centered around this fascinating world. And with March 17 being St. Patrick’s Day, we thought it was a perfect time to celebrate the holiday while simultaneously uncovering how our community invests their “gold.”
Friday afternoon we popped up in the Centergy lobby with green beer and brownies in tow, asking passersby to share the wealth – and confide in us on their investment strategies.
We had quite the international presence that day, with participants spanning from local Advanced Technognology Development Center (ATDC)) startups, like Matmerize (which combines artificial intelligence (AI), data science, and plastics) and StradosLabs (who offer real-time, accessible respiratory systems), to team members of Accenture visiting all the way from Italy (would have been too on-the-nose if it were Ireland)!
Despite the geographical differences, there was definitely commonality in how people invest their coin:
Hopefully the luck of the Irish is with us all and we continue to see growth in our investments – and in the new connections formed at this chance encounter we hosted!
